Mumbai, April 21 Sunny Deol’s action-packed drama ‘Jaat’, also starring Randeep Hooda and Vineet Kumar Singh, continues to hold its ground at the box office despite tough competition from Akshay Kumar’s ‘Kesari 2’ and earlier controversy. After 12 days in theatres, the film has amassed a solid ₹74.55 crore, with ₹5.15 crore coming in on its second Sunday alone.
‘Jaat’ Stands Tall Despite Hurdles
Launched with a strong opening of ₹9.5 crore, ‘Jaat’ maintained momentum through its first week, collecting ₹61.65 crore. The film was briefly caught in a controversy involving a church scene, which sparked backlash from Christian groups. The scene was promptly removed, and the controversy seemingly had little long-term impact on ticket sales.
The arrival of ‘Kesari 2’—which opened at ₹7.5 crore—has added pressure on ‘Jaat’, yet Sunny Deol’s mass appeal and strong word of mouth have helped the film hold steady.

Will ‘Jaat’ Hit the ₹100 Crore Club?
With steady collections through the second weekend and minimal weekday drops, trade analysts believe ‘Jaat’ has the potential to cross the ₹100 crore mark by the end of its third weekend, provided its momentum holds and word of mouth continues to drive footfall.
However, ‘Kesari 2’ and upcoming Eid releases could present challenges in its journey toward the milestone.
Audience Reception
Despite facing some early criticism, fans have lauded Sunny Deol’s intense performance, Randeep Hooda’s screen presence, and the film’s action-driven narrative. The combination of star power and patriotic undertones has clicked with Tier 2 and Tier 3 city audiences especially.
